What System is understood as the cradle of Mechatronics
The elementary Mechatronic System - eMS
Hard wired
Non programmable
What is the second evolution of a Mechatronic System?
The first evolution of MEchatronic System is the field of Advanced Mechatronics. Therewithin the porgrammable Mechatronic System - pMS - is created-
Software is a key component
Describe the field of the third evolution of Mechatronic Systems
The third evolution of mechatronic systems is generally understood to be the Era of connected Mechatronic Systems - cMS
Locally connected through wires (for example different systems in a CNC Mill)
Globally connected via the internet
Describe the latest field of mechatronic systems
The latest field of mechatronic systems is the field of self-learning Mechatronic Systems - sMS
Arfiticial Intelligence leads to either a prior training, or a training on the fly
How does the risk of manipulation behave for the different generations of mechatronic systems?
The risk of manipulation grows with the connectivity —> It gets easier to enter the system and to change the code.
What is understood under the term “CPS”
With the term “CPS” we describe a Cyber Physical System. It is a comprehension for the integration of the Physical and the Cyber World.
For example a digital twin that has an influence on the physical system (e.g. reduced speed when the model shows high failure probability) would be considered a CPS because the Physical and the Cyber World interact and influence each other.
What methods are gernerally understood as Machine Learning
Whats the underlying concept of a neural network
What is the difference between Edge Computing and Cloud computing?
Edge Computing describes the processing of big data on the spot, e.g. in the plant it´s created (on premiss)
Cloud computing describes the evaluation of big data in remote servers, this is gernerally used for systems, that have little computational power, e.g. cars
How can the implications of highly developed Mechatronic Systems (MS) for development teams be described?
The Implications that highly developed Mechatronic Systems have on development teams can be described with the V-Meld, that includes different swimlanes for Mechanics, Electronicsa and any Computer Science.
Hereby the lanes go together through the phases od System design, Conceptualization, Implementation and Integration. Thoses phases are also repeated together if in an agile environment.
Briefly explain the concept ‘Digital twin‘
The concept is that the whole product can be represented in the digital world. It accompanies the real-world counterpart over its lifecycle. For example, operation data can be logged and used for the product functionality or future product generations. Further maintenance data can be logged, so the expected RUL of the system is always known.
(Critical points: Digital aspect, over the whole lifecycle, logging and use of data)
